Arms of the Earl Marshal.

Earl Marshal (alternatively Marschal, Marischal or Marshall) is a hereditary royal officeholder and chivalric title under the sovereign of the United Kingdom used in England (then, following the Act of Union 1800, in the United Kingdom). It is the eighth of the Great Officers of State in the United Kingdom, ranking beneath the Lord High Constable and above the Lord High Admiral. The Earl Marshal has among its responsibilities, the organisation of major state ceremonies like State funerals and the monarch's coronation in Westminster Abbey. He is also a leading officer of arms and oversees the College of Arms.

As the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk is head of the College of Arms. For most of the time since their incorporation in 1484 heralds have been members of the Royal Household, directly appointed by the Sovereign on the recommendation of the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal.

The heraldic achievement consists of four different elements: the arms (or shield), the crests, the supporters (Dexter a Lion, sinister a Horse), the motto Sola Virtus Invicta (Virtue alone is unconquered), and the batons of the Earl Marshal.
